The Bobs lift off towards instant cult, fusing a grain of military sci-fi with social sci-fi themes, uplifting, space exploration, and especially the context of biologically inspired built AI, immortality, and the relationship and friendship with real humans Perfect balanceDuring most of the journey, the story jumps between 2 alien species who need some uplift, the fight against 2 enemies, the relationship between one bob and a woman, and the ruins of Earth. By combining these short bits, Taylo...
“The fact is, man has never stayed by a single ideal. The mass enthusiasm when you were young gave way to cool, rationalistic classicism. Today that’s being drowned in turn by a kind of neoromanticism. God knows where that will lead. I probably won’t approve. Regardless, new generations grow up. We’ve no right to freeze them into our own mold. The Bobiverse is too wide.” ― Poul Anderson, Tau ZeroOK, so I changed that quote a little. Dennis E. Taylor’s FABULOUS! Bobiverse series reminded me of Gr...
Thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy. I loved the first book the most, it was intriguing as heck! I love this author's writing style so much. I do think I have dozed off and missed some bits in my audiobook of the 2nd one so I was a bit lost in this one, but that's entirely my fault, and yet somehow I still enjoyed it. Definitely something I might re-read in a physical format to make sure I follow everything, I don't mind going through it again. But the TBR size is dire so who knows if that will happ...
The best book I haven't read this year!
I don't even know what to say about this, the final entry in the Bobiverse series.I guess I'll say it's funny, suspenseful, interesting and sad all at once. Some of the Bobs, (the original and all of the clones in their various incarnations), are getting tired, (I know, clones? Tired? But it's true), and who could blame them? Their entire reason for existing is saving and protecting humanity, even those that don't think they need protection or saving. Every human that the Bobs know is dying. Whe...
I started reading this series and first found it entertaining: We Are Legion We Are Bob (Bobiverse, #1) (my review). I read the second book and then put the series aside. I finally found some beach time to pick-up this final book to finish-off the series. This book is readable, YA, has some good ideas and tech. In places it’s amusing. However, it's part of a series that is too derivative to be interesting to a serious reader of science fiction. In addition, this series ought to only be publis...
I love the Bobiverse. Dennis Taylor has created a fun, entertaining and sometimes thoughtful series, and I’m genuinely sad to see it end.In saying that, I don’t feel that All These Worlds is a worthy finale for the Bobiverse trilogy. While this is still an enjoyable book it just isn’t the big finisher that the Bobiverse needs or deserves.The format of the two previous books continues here- a series of first person almost diary-like vignettes from the various Bob’s that are spread throughout the
Homo SideriaI love it. Actually, I love this entire series.So much happens, but it's mostly snippets and sub-plots for multiple personalities spread across vast distances across space. Of course, that's kinda necessary since it's one man in an AI matrix duplicating himself massively and communicating real-time over fantastic spaces, doing good as he mines and fabricates and fights battles with aliens, insane AIs from old Earth, talks with friends or adopted relatives or just goes the terraformin...
This book 3.4 starsSeries as whole 4.3 stars.All this worlds is weakest installment in this series although it's still good book. The reasons why I enjoyed this book I found this book not on par with the rest of the series are 3 storylines:Howard's was just bad."Brazilian probe" overstayed it's welcome and should have wrapped up in previous book. Here it really didn't add anything."The others" storyline was good but despite being main thread in this book it ended quickly and too neatly. On the o...
When the limitations of a single human lifespan are removed from a sentient being's development, what will happen? Will the being go mad, become frozen emotionally, decide to destroy the Universe and see what happens next?Bob Johansson finds out.I am jealous of Bob, I am happy Author Taylor decided to write Bob down, and I am all done with the series of novels explaining the Bobiverse. Kinda sorta wish I wasn't but I am, and I think a lot of y'all should pack a Kindle with these three novels and...
